How do I repay the loan?

You will repay DBH Home Loan on a regular monthly basis, through Equated Monthly Instalments (EMI). EMI comprises of both Interest and Principal amount of the loan, and you will commence the payment of EMI from the month following the month in which you will draw down the entire amount of loan.

If you decide to draw down the loan in instalments, then you will pay interest on the partly drawn loan amount, until the entire loan amount is drawn. This interest is called Pre-EMI (P-EMI) interest. Pre-EMI interest is payable every month from the date of each disbursement (i.e. cheque delivery date) up to the date of commencement of EMI. Pre-EMI interest is calculated at the same rate at which EMI is calculated.

What is the Rate of Interest that will be charged on my loan and what is the size of the EMI?

Please Contact any of the DBH Offices for the Interest Rates currently applicable for DBH Home Loan. Interest on DBH Home Loan is calculated using Reducing Balance Method on the diminishing balance of Principal Loan Amount.

Is the Rate of Interest fixed for the entire duration of the loan?

We offer both Adjustable and Fixed Rate Home Loan Schemes. Under Adjustable Rate Home Loan (ARHL) Scheme, depending on the changes in money market conditions, DBH reserves the right to vary the rate of interest prospectively from time to time. In case of Fixed Rate Home Loan (FRHL) Scheme, the rate of interest remains same throughout the loan tenure.

When can I draw down the loan?

You can draw down the loan after satisfactory work-in-progress, completion of all legal documentation and after full investment of your own contribution. Your own contribution is the total cost/price less DBH Home Loan.

In what form can i make payment to DBH?

All kinds of payments for fees, charges, pre-EMI interest, and EMIs should be made by Cheque, marked "A/C Payee Only" drawn on a bank in Dhaka/Chittagong city, by Pay Order, or by Demand Draft drawn in favour of "Delta Brac Housing Finance Corporation Ltd."

Do I get Tax Benefit on the loan?

Yes. According to the Income Tax Ordinance 1984, Section (25) Sub-section (1), the interest payable, on Home Loans with principal amount of up to BDT 2,000,000/- (Taka Twenty Lakhs only), would be deducted from the total taxable income. As a result, the income tax liability would be substantially reduced.

Does the property have to be insured?

Please ensure that the property is duly and properly insured for fire and other appropriate hazards, as required by DBH, during the term of the loan and to produce evidence thereof to DBH, each year and/or whenever called upon to do so. DBH should be the beneficiary of the insurance policy.

Will DBH assist me in selecting my dream home?
